Rugby News The internationals have finished – the countdown can begin!

Now that the summer tours have finished the countdown can begin to the start of the 2014/15 season!

The action gets underway on Friday, August 1st with the Northampton leg of the Premiership Rugby Sevens Series.

Over the past few years the Sevens Series has become a summer highlight, with some of the best young players in the country serving up a feast of Friday night entertainment!

Players like Tom Collins, Tom Stephenson, Will Hooley, Ethan Waller, Ben Nutley, Alex Day and Mike Haywood have all gone on from representing the Saints in the Premiership Rugby Sevens Series to becoming regulars in the first team match day squad, and with Howard Packman representing England Sevens in May there is more talent coming through!

This year the Saints will host Harlequins, London Wasps and previous tournament winners Saracens, and as well as the clashes on the field there will be plenty of fun and games off it, too, including having the opportunity to have your photo taken with the Aviva Premiership and Amlin Challenge Cup trophies!

Aviva Premiership fixtures will be announced on Friday, July 4th, with the European Rugby Champions Cup fixtures expected to be confirmed around two weeks later.

All 16 scheduled Aviva Premiership, European Rugby Champions Cup and LV= Cup matches are included in the 2014/15 Season Ticket package, along with every home Wanderers Aviva ‘A’ League and friendly match, and all home Academy matches.
